It seems that the alias is expanded as usual, so that one gets: nocorrect ssh() { command ssh "$@" } which is transformed into: ssh() { command ssh "$@" } as expected (let's recall that "nocorrect" is special and taken into account *before* parsing). "where ssh" gives the expected ssh function: zira:~> where ssh ssh: aliased to nocorrect ssh ssh () { ssh_wrapper ssh "$@" } /usr/bin/ssh -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
